Abstract

We use calculated Auger and radiative transition rates to compute $K$-shell fluorescence yields for $18\ensuremath{\le}Z\ensuremath{\le}54$. The calculated fluorescence yields are generally higher than the most recent measurements (by as much as 8%). In addition we compare the calculated Auger rates with measured $\mathrm{KLL}$ and $\mathrm{KLM}$ intensities, the calculated $\mathrm{KLL}$ total yield with other calculations, and the calculated $\frac{\mathrm{KLX}}{\mathrm{KLL}}$ and $\frac{\mathrm{KXY}}{\mathrm{KLL}}$ ratios with measurements.
